How soon later should I receive my stamped passport and COPR after mailing out?

[extreme001]

Hello,

I received passport request (PPR) email on Nov. 27.

For those who need to send passport to Ottawa VO (CPC - Ottawa - PR, 365 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa ON, K1A 1L1, Canada as indicated in the email), how soon later did you receive your stamped passport and COPR? I am living in the U.S.A. and the email says I can use any courier that delivers between Canada and the U.S.A.

Therefore I mailed the passport + Fedex return envelope with my mailing address as the recipient + copy of PPR email to Ottawa VO on Dec. 1. Ottawa VO received the package on Dec. 2 and was signed by B.BORGET.

When should I expect to see my returning package? How long time should it take?


Many thanks!

My email said 10 days to process but it was quicker. I'm in Canada and got mine back 10 days after I sent it.

Ottawa did not say how long would be, but I guess it would be more or less similar.

Yes that's the address for people whose mailing address is in Canada, which I believe is your case. But I am in the United States, so I follow this paragraph in the email.

· If you have a mailing address in the U.S.A.:

- The self-addressed, pre-paid envelope should be arranged with a courier that delivers between Canada and the U.S.A.

- Submit all documents by mail in a single package and send to the following address:

CPC – Ottawa – PR

365 Laurier Avenue West

Ottawa ON

K1A 1L1

I would have thought the processing time would be the same. Did it say on your email what the expected time would be?

I read through but it did not say. I hope it would be the same so that I can get them back before Christmas.

No I do not see this paragraph through the entire email.

The email sent to me says (starting from the address part)

It actually gave me an advertisement about an association.

But now I know, around 10 days would be normal.

Odd that they're different.
